Following the Jesse McCartney discussion a few posts back, I happened upon this article over at PopMatters. I'm not quite sure what to make of it, but it's an interesting take on the early days of Disney pop.

I wish she was more personal about it -- I think she brings in too much half-assed "evidence" after her intro, and she never returns to the fact that she started a fansite and presumably interacted with actual fans. Did she want to sleep with them, or dig their "virginality"? If not, why would she assume that so many of their fans did? (Her allusions to other fansites are too vague -- is "sexxxxxy" about sex, or about jokingly posing on your personal page/message board? How old were the people at the fansites -- most of the teenpop message boards are usually moderated by people in their teens, not tweens, I think -- that is, the older section of the demographic -- which is who would be captioning the pics.)
